The Yellow Court Scripture, vol. 2

Precursors and Successors

Omschrijving

The Huangting jing (Yellow Court Scripture), a central classic of Daoist meditation translated earlier in this series, did not grow or remain in a cultural vacuum. This book seeks to elucidate its greater context, presenting discussions and translations of four major and six minor works that can be described as precursors or successors of the text dating from the Eastern Han to the late Tang dynasties. Taken together, these texts illustrate the vibrant cultural role of the Huangting jing in the middle period, showing its growth as part of early Daoist meditation circles and demonstrating its later development into more medical and exorcistic contexts. The book with its original translations makes a major contribution to the study of Daoist cultivation and Chinese intellectual history.
